I would tend to say the Q9400 is a little better in almost every way, though the 9850 isn't bad. The difference certainly isn't huge.

the replacement is definitely better, assuming the other specs of the replacement (video card/memory/etc) are the same as the 9850.

Q9400 is better, but like johnyeah said, it depends if the other system specs remain the same
